It's already Week 5 fans. Time for some of you to grow a sack, and make some bets! Is the cream beginning to rise to the top in this league already? The CASINO thinks not. However, 2 of the top 4 teams have a chance to put some seperation between themsevles and the rest of the league. Could a couple of the bottom tier teams have a must win game already? We think so. As 2 of the 3 worst teams in the league do battle.

GAME 1: Turd Fergusson (0-4) vs. Robintucky Raiders (1-3)

Take the children inside, and tell the wife to shut up. This shit could get ugly. Both of these teams consider this a must win for Week 5.

Turd Fergusson has attempted to fill bye week holes once already this season. And, he is doing the same again this week. At least after Week 5; Bye's shouldn't be a concern. It appears Turd will fill A. Brooks @ GB in at QB. And, either A. Randle El or M. Booker will fill the hole made by E. Kennison. The RB situation does look good however with Portis @ Den, and D. Davis vs. Ten. The Raiders are also filling a bye week hole this week, that could be costly. L. Jordan will not be playing this week, leaving the team with a hole to fill that could have easily been done with R. Droughns. It appears that either T. Bell or N. Davenport will get the start. Also, the team hopes that a couple of players are a go this week. Both M. Vick vs. NE, and T. Owen @ Dal listed as probable. The only definite thing right now looks like W. McGahee vs. MIA.

Yahoo Projection: Turd Fergusson -77 (no qb, no wr) Robintucky Raiders - 81

RRT CASINO: Turd Fergusson -5.5

GAME 2: Mr. Natalie Portman vs. My Brain Hurts

The 3-1 teams in IIFFL are looking to add some seperation in this league early. The earlier the better, in many of thier minds. With 2 of these teams hooking up this week. Epic Battle,..........not really.

The self proclaimed "Hottest" team in the league is running a 3 game win streak into this game. And I think P. Manning @ SF this week is already scoring points for him. Brain Pain also has F. Taylor vs. Cin, and J. Lewis @ Det. Portman only has 1 of his regulars on BYE this week, and that is his kicker. But, with D. Jackson out with an injury, Cadillac Williams questionable, and T. Heap and R. Johnson both listed as questionable, many holes could develop soon. J. Delhomme @ Ari. and T. Holt vs. Sea are sure things for this team this week, but all of the aforementioned players are putting many doubts in this team owners minds. And the CASINO'S.

Yahoo Projection: My Brain Hurts - 108 Mr. Natalie Portman (no k, no wr) - 77
